monome - arduinome

For Sale: 4x Arduinome Shield and More

2010-07-12T22:40:11+00:00

I have 4 Arduinome Shields purchased over a year ago through a group buy within this forum. They are all unused and need a home as I have found I am not into modding as thought I would be!

I would like $25 each for these shields, or $75 if you buy all four.

I also have some Sparkfun stuff to build a 64-button arduinome:

4 4x4 Sparkfun breakout PCB boards for button pads
16 2x2 Sparkfun Button Pads

I would like $50 for the above set of Sparkfun equipment.

If you take it all, I will accept $100.

I will not charge you shipping and I will pack these items very securely. I have anti-static bubble-wrap bags for the shields and will ship them with as much love as I shipped the hundreds from the group buy out with! Ships as soon as PayPal payment is confirmed. Shipping outside of the U.S. will cost you the amount of shipping past the price U.S. shipping would cost. randizzlefoshizzle at Geemail.

I will update the thread if parts of this lot are sold. Thanks :)

Arduinome 128 sources available (now at sourceforge)

2009-10-22T06:46:28+00:00

I have my Arduinome 128 (build with an Bibo 8x8 PCBs, Duemilanove and 2 times a half populated logic board for the shields) running now! Lots of fun, like mlrv and 7up a lot :)

I'll upload the FW source code and other project docs when I find a place to host them. In the mean time let me know at bart at ardistech dot com when you need something. The source code is based on the original monome code and code I found on this board.

Thanks to all of the monome community!

Arduinome. LEDs work but Buttons do not.

2010-07-24T02:16:53+00:00

I am using bibo's 8x8 board and the unsped shield.

All of my diodes are in facing the same direction and they are oriented according to this build:
http://prodavid.wordpress.com/2009/06/17/arduinome-build-documentationguide/.

When I plug in my arduinome and open arduinome serial the LEDs light one row at a time as they are supposed to, but the button presses do not do anything.
I have the host port set to 8000 and the listen port to 8080.

I have tried re-orienting the ribbon cables but that either makes the lights turn all on, or turn all on dimly. None of the orientations make the buttons work better.

Anyone have any ideas?

all my drawings for monome/arduinome face plates

2010-06-19T05:43:19+00:00

hi all.

i've been making a set of drawings for both arduinomes and now a 40h monome for a while at work. all these have been tested in the real world by people using the face plates i've cut for them. so i know they work. i haven't put too much time in the monome side of things yet, drawing a 128 ect. but i hope to in the future. for now, these are to help people get their face plates cut that don't have the files to do it yet.

the drawings are in dxf, eps and ai. so you should be able to use them with any software you have around.

arduinome shield pcb to sell - unsped

2010-05-23T14:51:32+00:00

hello there!

i ordered a batch of 10 unsped arduinome logic board pcbs and built my arduinomes.

so i got 6 or 7 pcbs and the matching shift registers (74HC165 and 74HC164) and capacitators to sell now. to make it clear: its the bare pcbs, nothing soldered! (see attached pic)

arduinomeshields[at]yahoo[dot]de

total cost for one pcb with register-chips and capacitators will be 20€ without shipping.

contact me, i have to look shippingcosts up individually with the german parcel services to find the cheapest solution.

EDIT:

to foreign countrys i only can send the bare pcb without chips due to letter-height/weight restrictions

greetings from germany

Knob box add on for my 128 arduinome

2010-07-18T02:17:41+00:00

I would like to make a detachable knob box for my recently completed starfire 128. I figure 4-6 pots. I would also like to place some LEDS underneath the knobs themselves and have them pulse to the tempo in live. I understand the recent arduinome firmware has code for hooking up to the ADC spots on the board so I think Im set for the pots. My question is how to read the tempo from Live and have it control the PWM output to pulse the LEDs like this http://principialabs.com/arduino-pulse-width-modulation/
I assume this would require a small MAX app that updates the "int time=" value in arduinome firmware

Arduinome 128 with starfire board and unsped shield / barduinome 128 hack

2010-07-13T12:54:52+00:00

So... Since I've burned one of my starfire AIO board, I replaced it with an arduino+unsped in my 256.... It works, but ... hmmmm .... (<< in-satisfaction)

But, reading bartaug's post (found here : http://post.monome.org/comments.php?DiscussionID=6145&page=3#Item_12 ) made me want to try his hack with a starfire board as first shield, and an unsped one as second

I managed to follow instructions (from custardweasel's post) and get something that barely displays the boot pattern on both button pads, so i really think it is doable

Has anyone managed to do the original bartaug hack on the 128 using regular unsped shields?
Has anyone dared attempt this mix before ?

One note about the original hack, if i understand correctly, bartaug's original hack was adapted to the unsped shields at some point in the thread.. He also mentions possible need to adapt the firmware pins to reflect unsped pin-outs... But, on sourceforge, the hex you find as firmware isn't implied to work with the unsped shields... Or not..
Second, based on custardweasel's reply and blog article ( http://herringson.com/?page_id=241 ), the pin-outs is quite different from the one bartaug suggests.... So which is right ? ;)

Hopping this thread will give ideas to the most adventurous amongst us and open new doors to 128's building :p

monome serial, arduinome serial and monoroute don't get on

2010-07-13T18:41:57+00:00

hi all, i'm having some serious issues:

i'm having trouble running any combination of the following apps: monome serial, arduinome serial, monoroute

Each one can be started when neither of the other two are running.
None of them will start whilst one of the others is running.

i'm greeted with a "Runtime error!" when i ever i try and start monome serial or arduinome serial when i have one of the other apps open.
monoroute just refuses to open in this situation.

any one had similar problems?

i'm on windows xp trying to run the latest versions of each of these applications. both monome serial and arduinome serial work with out problems on by them selves it's just side by side i have the issue, obviously i've never been able to get monoroute running.

cheers,
tris

flashing an arduino with new serial to get arduinomeserial to recognise it

2010-07-08T19:45:03+00:00

hi

does flashing an arduino with new serial to get arduinomeserial to recognise it mean it can no longer function as a normal arduino for other projects?

thanks

HOWTO: Add 16 ADC to your Arduinome (aka x16adc mod)

2009-06-01T13:40:40+00:00

Digital is good but I can't live without analog.
So I've decided to add some potentiometer to my arduinome, and with "some" I mean more than 4! :)

cd4067 is an analog multiplexer 100% arduino compatible, it can manage 16 adc with 4 digital pins and 1 analog input only.

Unsped shields don't use the 6 arduino's analog in, so I've decided to use 5 of them to drive my cd4067.

First, I had to make a little module to add cd4067 to my arduinome, I drawed a schematic of that module, you can find it in the attachment.

Second, I had to modify ArduinomeFirmware to make it capable to manage the new module.
http://itp.nyu.edu/physcomp/Tutorials/Multiplexer was usefull and I've only adapted that code.
In the attachment there's that sketch, all changes are commented. :)

Third, I had to modify ArduinomeSerial to manage the new protocol. Monome SerialProtocol can manage 4 adc only because it reserves 2 bit only to the port camp. With 16 adc I need 4 bits, so I taked 2 from the value camp.
It works, but now my adc can store values from 0 to 254 only, anyway it's good enough for me!
(See http://docs.monome.org/doku.php?id=tech:protocol:40h to understand it.)

That changes requires the editing of 3 files only: message.c (lines 28 and 30), message.h (lines 67, 68, 69) and ApplicationController.mm (line 193).
Again, you can find the edited versions in the attachment, and all edits are commented.

I'm not a programmer, (I'm learning C reading ArduinomeSerial :D) and this isn't a patch (I don't know how to make one!), maybe it's an hack. A brute hack considering I've commented the firmware's lines that control the adc's on/off state, so I don't have to add 16 switch to the main window (I don't know how to add a switch too :) ).
It would be nice to add a switch that can enable the x16adc mod (yes, I call all this x16adc mod) to the next Arduinome Firmware/Serial release but I don't know if that mod is so intresting for other users. :)

The thing works, but is not perfect. The modifications are crude and some error can occur. For example some times pots starts to continuously send values ant I don't know why.
I've tested it on mac only, I don't use windows but it should work on it.
I hope that someone interested in the mod can help me to refine it.

There's a picture of my modded arduinome too, so you can see how nice it is! :)

Finally, I want to thank Brian and Kelly because they have make all this open source (and possible), unsped and all the arduinome staff/enthusiasts, and ucacjbs that drived me when I asked some questions about the project.

Ciao.

anyone?

arduinome troubleshooting

2010-06-29T08:31:49+00:00

hey guys,

I have just finished builing an arduinome.
When i connect the unit to usb (i have already flashed, and uploaded firmware) only half the board lights up (the waterfall effect thing). When i switch the input cable the other half of the board scrolls across!?

I know the button pads are ll ok because i have seen the whole board light up. the arduino board seems to be ok(the led blink example works fine) i haver replaced the max 7219 chip, still not working!

do you guys have any other suggestions? could it be the 165 or 165 chips?

thanks

Debugging Arduinome, if anyone can help..

2010-06-30T17:21:48+00:00

I'm building an Arduinome, using an unsped shield, and the button pcbs designed by starfire (I know this is an odd way of doing it, but I already had the arduino, so it seemed easiest).

I've checked (individually), as far as I know how, all the components on the pcbs, and they seem to work as I would expect.

When I switch on the arduino, the lights flash across in rows, as you'd expect, then I run arduinomeserial, and it is recognised, as 'A9007POW', but random lights light up, and running 'monome test' in max/msp yields some seriously weird results, literally all over the place.

After 2 days of trying, I've completely run out of ideas, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

n00b arduinome (vs monome) build question? help me

2010-06-26T20:48:56+00:00

Hey,

So like all of us, i've spent absurdist amounts of time researching things before putting down some cashmoney to build an arduinome or possibly try to get a monome kit in july. but i have some questions that I can't quite figure out.

If i were to build an arduinome, i'd like to be use livid's buttons (smaller, supposedly more precise) found here http://lividshop.com/builder/rubber-key-pads-8x8.html AND then use there i think new pcbs for it here: http://lividshop.com/builder/byob-push-small.html

if i do do this what exactly changes in terms of the logic board stuff? can i still use the parts list on the flipmu site: http://flipmu.com/work/arduinome/hardware/ ?

if not, what do i need to get differently?

and then in terms of the arduino shield, do i build exactly the same way all the sparkfun build logs describe? get one of unsped's shields? or bibio's and go from there? is all the build the same if all i'm changing is the buttons/pcb?

finally, i've been wanting to get an arduino for a long time now and was thinking if i go the arduinome route, i can just detach it from the arduinome stuff and use it as a normal arduino whenever i wanted to? is this possible too?

if anyone could answer all my questions i would be unbelievable appreciative, i really am quite a n00b but want to get my hands dirty quick!

I guess i'm asking ultimately because if I do have to change a lot to use the livid buttons and i really can't detach it from the arduino itself whenever i wanted to.... i might just really try to get a monome kit when they come out again (later in july)

thanks so much in advance
